Re: Where do you sit at GABP
Price determines what ticket I buy, but when good deals arise or the opportunity to get GREAT seats come my way I'll spring at it. For example, I bought the $15-off Field View Level Seats during the Pirates series. I also bought Mudshark's tickets and they're the best seats I've ever had (3rd row behind Reds' dugout) minus diamond club.
View and location determine where I sit, though. I've never had a problem moving around and I go somewhere different every time. I like to stay on the 1st base/RF side of the stadium so I can see the Jumbo-tron during the game.
Right field outfield is fun, it's the best place to get a good look on a ball's trajectory.
There's not a bad seat in the stadium, and the front of the upper level are great seats too. I hope this helps.
Re: Where do you sit at GABP
I have had the chance to sit just about everywhere in GABP. I was not that impressed with the Sun deck seating area. I like the bleachers, but the problem is the sun, it can get hot there. For a few seasons we treated ourselves to the 4192 club seats, but when they got bumped to 85+ dollars we stopped that. Once we got scout seats on EBAy for like $60 each and tried that and it was nice. Also not real impressed with seating under the bleachers, can't see the scoreboard...
Re: Where do you sit at GABP
Section 112 for me great view close to field down third base line. View determines the seat location for me.
Re: Where do you sit at GABP
I sat in section 141 (RF) this past Saturday (Ludwick's walkoff) and those were probably the best seats for the price. I bought the tickets the day of the game on StubHub for half price the normal about ($13 each). Good view of the game and scoreboard. Also, you get that nice breeze off the river which was good since it was hot at the start of the game.
I also sat in section 107 which is near the foul pole on Pete Rose night a few years ago (Votto walkoff HR in 10th). Those seats were decent, a few foul balls came close to us and Votto's HR landed a few sections over. Downfall was we had to turn our heads to see the scoreboard.
Worse seats I have been in were the Kroger Bleachers. Not only are they extremely uncomfortable (for a 9 inning game), but you cannot see the scoreboard. Literally have to turn around to see it and miss a lot of the traditional things that makes a ball game fun like the frequent showings of fans on the board, Kiss Cams, Trivia question, and the Races they do (Mascots, KOI Cars, etc)
Re: Where do you sit at GABP
Almost always behind home plate in the upper deck. By far the best view of the game.
Re: Where do you sit at GABP
Section 129 - 3 rows up from dugout.
If I don't have tickets and still want to go I buy the cheapest available ticket and stand by the vendors on one of the baselines. Shade is nice.
Re: Where do you sit at GABP
I usually scout out stubhub and sit where the best deal pops up, based on location and price. I'll sit anywhere though depending on the game.
So far this year i've sat in the bleachers, uppers behind the plate, behind the reds dugout a couple times, and in the club seats once. Club seats are by far the nicest in my opinion, but I wouldn't be able to afford it very often.
Re: Where do you sit at GABP
buy view level or bleacher seats, then usually just move in the 4th inning to somewhere along the 3rd base line
Re: Where do you sit at GABP
How bad is the sun when you sit out in Right field?

Not bad at all. Actually stronger in LF seats.
Re: Where do you sit at GABP
Just got Row O, Sec 117 for Sunday's day game on stubhub for what I think was a pretty nifty price... <$25 per.
Any chance of shade in that spot, or do I need to double down on the sunscreen?
